Summary

Commissioners advanced a motion to approve a proposed radio-tower lease involving the Bureau of Indian Affairs and local landowners. A consultant said landowner consents are in hand and Staley must record a survey before the lease returns for final action; environmental review is also required.

Commissioners discussed a proposed radio-tower lease that will involve the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and local landowners. A consultant (Presenter, S4) told the board they have obtained sufficient landowner consent and are “waiting on Staley to record the survey,” and that “the next step would be to do the environmental component.”

Committee member (S2) moved to approve the lease and Chair (S1) seconded; the board advanced the motion while staff and the consultant described outstanding steps. The transcript does not show a final, recorded lease execution at the meeting; rather, commissioners advanced approval contingent on the recorded survey and required environmental review. Staff said they will return the lease once landowner signatures and environmental steps are complete.

The board did not take a roll-call vote in the transcript; action was advanced by voice and conditioned on survey recording and environmental compliance.
